My wife, Patsy Niggley is recovering from the operation last Tue, Sep 22 to redo her right hip that was replaced in 1995. The cement pulled loose from the bone (very seldom happens), but for her it did. The operation was much longer than last time, but she is recovering nicely, and starting rehab and was moved to a skilled nursing home on Sunday. We kept her parkinson meds away from her for a day and have slowly been adding then back, so she is much more rigid than normal. We don't want a repeat of 3 years ago when she almost shook the leg out of the socket and it took us 21 hours to get her over it. Needless to say by then she was totally wiped out with NO strength left. Now to the question she wanted me to ask. Are any of you taking, or have taken AMBIEN or RESTORIL for sleep medication? If so how successful or unsuccessful were they and what if any side effects did you experience. BTW, Patsy is 58, last week, and has been diagnosed for 13 years. Thanks for your response.
